Hey guys I'm having a little problem with my F350. I've had it for about a month now and the cluster had no problems or whatsoever. Then, I drove it today and I noticed that the instrument cluster is not working at all. The lights work, but the gauges wouldn't move. When I turn the key before starting it the chime is beeping faster than it usually did before and it wouldn't shut off unless I close the door. It also only indicates the airbag and battery light. I checked all the fuses and they were good especially #15 or #16 can't remember it right now.
I don't know if its related, but this past saturday I was messing with the overhead instrument cluster for the gas milage and all that. I soldered some of the relays back on and that was it. I started the truck after I did all that, but everything was still working.
I had a similar problem when I got my '00 F250. Turned out to be the fuse for the overdrive button on the shifter. I don't remember what fuse number it was, but that fixed it.
Check Fuse F19 under the dash. It runs the cluster, the overhead console, and the O/D Cancel switch. See owner's manual.
Since you were soldering in the overhead console, I'd suspect a fault there first. Under typical day-to-day failures, chafed wires where they enter the shift lever tube is the most common problem.

Thanks! For some reason I overlooked fuse #19. Thanks for the help brother.
